Guide to Synergizing Jhin and Zilean

Tips for Playing as Jhin with Zilean

Your ultimate deals significantly less damage to enemies with full health. Look to pick off weakened targets as they run away.

Deadly Flourish has incredible range. When approaching a fight be sure to look ahead for enemies that could be rooted.

You can still cast your spells while reloading. Use them to fill the down time.

Advice to Understand How Zilean Will Play

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Zilean.
